I just got my car runing and I think when I top off my coolant system , I think I spill some coolant on my air filter, I did not really pay a lot attention, until I start the car again but the car run for few sec and then die, so I restat again same thing happend. so I think I must suck some coolant into my engine , however I did heard any strange noise, so I will hope the water will dry over night , so am I ok on this ???
thanks for help

That shouldn't have hurt anything. Might smoke a little though.

Yeah it would take alot of liquid through the filter to stop your car from running. Doesnt sound like that is your problem...

Maybe clogged fuel filter?

if you spilled enough, could plug the air filter. one time i was washing engine bay and put plastic over the air filter, forgot to take it off and engine was wanting to stall when i was driving, took bag off and all was fine. what kind of air filter do you have.
